Each team needs a minimum of 8 reservations through Event Connect hotels. Teams that fall short owe an Opt-Out Fee of $795. The host says the same fee applies to teams that opt out of the Preferred Hotel Program entirely. Direct bookings, Airbnb, VRBO, camping and staying with family do not count.
The hotels page gives two local distances. One says "If you are considered local to an event (within 75 miles) please let us know". Another says "Teams whose registered address is located within 90 miles of the event venue may qualify for a local exemption". The host does not reconcile them, so ask before you rely on either.
